Mesh tool not working properly

Hello,
The mesh tool will only let me create new mesh points on a path, it will not let me create a mesh point anywhere I want on an object. For example if I use the rectangle tool and create a rectangle it will only let me create mesh points on the path around rectangle...not anywhere in the middle of the rectangle like it should. I should be able to create a mesh point anywhere in the rectangle, but it will not let me.
Is there a setting a might have turned off? Please help, this is important!

Yes in the Illustrator preferences there is a option under Selection and Anchor Display to select objects by the path only uncheck that option.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: dropdown boxes for tools not working properly in Win 8.1

    Elements 12 system requirements are indicated up to Windows 8.  Does that mean it should also work on any Windows 8 upgrades, more specifically 8.1?  The drop-down boxes for the tools are not working properly in the program.  I've installed it, uninstalled it, and installed it again with the same results.  It worked fine on my old computer with Vista.

    Yes PSE12 will work on 8.1
    If problems persist try re-setting the prefs.
    Go to: Edit >> Preferences >> General (Photoshop Elements menu on Mac)
    Click the button Reset Preferences on next Launch

  • Selection tools not working properly -- Illustrator CS6

    The two selection tools in CS6 Illustrotor not working properly.  They don't select the object when I click and drag a box around them and the handles on drawing path won't stay highlighted when I use the direct selection tool so I can adjust them -- Worked in Illustrator for about 12 years and never had this problem.

    Have you tried:

  • Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

    How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool?   Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic.  You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
    Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either.  Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

    Have you tried this?
    From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
    Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

  • Selections tools not working properly in Photoshop CC 2014

    Just installed Photoshop CC 2014. For some reason I cannot get my quick selection tool and quick mask to work properly. I can make a selection but when I try to make a mask I get all kinds of artifacting going on. I try to use quick select to clean up the artifacting to no avail, in fact I start to get different artifacting in the selection that cannot be removed by the brush tool. HELP. To bad I uninstalled Photoshop CC. Can I reinstall Photoshop CC somehow? Anybody out there with the same problems? The focus area will not work also?

    At this moment, I have tried : Reset the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File" (When you open Photoshop, push "option + command + shift" for Apple).
    Not ok.

  • CS5.1 scaling tool not working properly

    The scaling tool is working oddly. If I scale it something down (like a logo) - even with the shift held down and scale it back up - it is all distorted. Is there something that I need to turn off or on? Because the scale tool isn't working properly it is destroying logos. I'm not new to illustrator so unless something in the program has changed I'm not doing anything I haven't always done - without the bad effects.
    thanks

    THANK YOU!
    And it was the "Free Transform" tool I was talking about. Your tip has fixed the problem.

  • Eyedropper Tool Not Working Properly: Photoshop CC 2014

    I have the very latest version of Photoshop CC 2014. But, even before updating, all of a sudden, my eyedropper tool isn't working properly. It used to be that I could pick up a color from any place on the image, no matter what layer I was on. Now, it seems that layer MUST be the active one for the eyedropper tool to pick up the color. So, what's going on?
    If it means anything, I recently updated from OS X 10.8.5 to 10.9.5.

    So, what's going on?
    Possibly you paid no attention to the Tool’s settings in the Options Bar.

  • FW CS6 Align tool not working properly with lines of text

    Much to my surprise the align tool is not aligning properly with text and I'm not sure what the issue is. My snap to grid distance is set at 1 in preferences.
    Task: Left-align several vertically-stacked lines of type using the alignment tool. All lines have text-align: left.
    Result: Some of lines of type display 1px off from each other. Using the right-align tool yields the same issue.
    Oddly enough shapes align pixel-perfect.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I'm not certain of this, but I believe the Align panel aligns the text runs as opposed to the text boxes themselves. This should be a good thing, as it's usually the text that needs to be aligned, not the invisible boxes containing the text.
    Could that be what's happening?

  • Crop tool not working properly

    I have CS4 photoshop. The crop tool was working correctly before, but now when I try to crop an image the tool doesn't cover the whole image the way it used to. It doesn't pull down across the whole image. Did one of my preferneces change? Please help me!!
    Thanks,

    Thanks, but I got it to work by hitting the clear button.

  • Text select tool not working properly

    When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
    I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

    Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
    If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat  by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
    Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

  • Marquee tool and shape tool not working properly

    I have Photoshop CS five, and today while working in it, the behavior of all of my tools changed.
    Tools are now defaulting to “select from center” mode, which normally requires holding down the option key.
    As another clue, if I create a marquee selection, as soon as I release the mouse button the Marquis tool switches to “intersect with selection” mode.
    I quit Photoshop and deleted all of my Adobe Photoshop preferences, however when I relaunched Photoshop the problem was still there.
    I thought maybe my option key was stuck down, but when I tried typing in stickies, characters typed normally, so my option key is not stuck in the down position.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Thank you for your response.
    I actually spent some time with Adobe tech support working on the problem. You are correct it was a bug; they had me update my Photoshop AND delete this file from my preferences folder: com.adobe.Photoshop.plist — those two things did the trick.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Color change tool not working properly

    I am running Photoshop CS5.
    Now when I try to replace color, these are my steps
    color replacement tool
    mode: color
    sampling: continuous
    limits: find edges
    tolerance: 33%
    anti-alias: selected
    I pick my color that I want to replace. If it is a green, or a blue, it will replace the color, but it replace with a neon color instead of the color that i pick.
    If i use a white or a black, it will not replace the color at all.
    Any ideas how to fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Any ideas how to fix the problem?
    Plain and simple: Learn how to work with selections and then use adjustments or e.g. the paint bucket tool. You are fundamentally misunderstanding how the tool works. All of what you see is as it should be - based on your settings it retains luminance and just replace the color info which explains why black and white don't respond (as there is no color) and how substituting a color while retaining the luminance would yield an unexpected visual result. Again, your approach is wrong, not the tool.

  • Refine edge tool not working properly?

    It worked for a couple of days but haven't been able to get it to work right again. I've wasted a lot of time on this problem. It doesn't find the edges correctly and make the areas where I used the tool lighter. I've tried resetting the preferences and it made no difference. I'm thinking of reinstalling the software but not sure how to do it.

    Precisely saying refine edge tool does not find edges . It is just used to refine the current selection. How are finding it unuseful. Can you plz provide more info.

  • Eraser Tool and Pattern Stamp Tools Not Working Properly

    I recently downloaded Photoshop CC on my Mac.  I've been using Photoshop for years and don't recall experiencing these problems.
    When using the eraser tool in brush mode, I select the appropriate preset and opacity, flow etc.
    Let's say I have the brush size set at 70px and hardness at 100%.  I erase, but the area erased is only 2/3rds of the actual size of the brush.
    The same is true for the pattern stamp.  Only 2/3rds of the pattern stamp is working.
    I've tried resetting to the tools and have search all over for similar problems in the forums but cannot find a solution.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not being a Mac user I don't recall the specifics, but there is I believe a system setting for cursor size.  You may have it set larger than it should be to work with Photoshop.

  • Quick Select Tool not working properly

    Hi Guys
    I have a large photo merge image and wanted to content aware fill the missing bits. When i try to use the select tool it selects while i hold my mouse button down but as soon as i let go it seems to either disappear or jump to somewhere totally different. This only happens in the checkered part with no image, i can select things fine within the image itself.
    My guess is that it won't work because the image is too large?? 48k x 5k
    Thought i might just try the Spot Healing Brush instead, didn't seem to handle things too well.
    Just to add to this, nothing to do with the size of the image as i can't select on a much small image either. Basically i can only select the actaully photo rather than the checkered part around the outside when i want to content fill.

    After you ctrl click on the layer to load the layers transparency:
    (click on the below screenshots for larger views)
    Select>Inverse
    Select>Modify>Expand and use a value of about 10 pixels
    (varies depending on how big your pano is)
    then Edit>Fill>Content Aware
    You still might have to touch up some areas as the one above still needs.
